Kring!!
Jennet jerked awake by the sound of the alarm clock. She stared at the ceiling mindlessly. After a while, she yawned. Then, from under the cover, she reached out for the clock and hit the snooze.
After the sound died down, she laid still for a few minutes while scratching her head. “I was dreaming last night,” she reminded herself like a mindless woman. She yawned again like a lazy cat that was forcefully woken up in the morning.
As she propelled her body into a seating position, she glanced at the bathroom. Flashes of memories from the event in the bathroom appeared in her head. She looked at herself; she was in her favourite pyjamas. She chuckled, relieving herself of the worry.
“I was worried for nothing. Everything was a dream, a wild dream of a single woman who lives alone,” she said to herself. Instead of feeling sad, she smiled widely.
She jumped off the bed, slid the glass door to the side and went to the bal
Jennet inhaled a deep breath as soon as the phone call ended. Luckily, Luca was an understanding person because she was being a jerk for forcing her boss to end the call. No one has ever done that to Luca before, probably.Marvina raised her head, "Who called? It sounds quite important." She spoke.Jennet looked at her. "It’s our big boss," she answered with a sigh."Mira?" Marvina guessed. No one other than Mira could make Jennet sigh so much."No, the other big boss," Jennet denied the guess.Marvina eyebrows knitted as she made another guess, "Mr Tybelg?"Jennet nodded and sighed again. She was unhappy when Marvina mentioned that name.Marvina asked another question, “What does he want? It is rare for him to call you."Jennet sighed deeply. Somehow, she was unwilling to tell Marvina about her lunch date with Luca. Yes, yesterday, she was eager to share the news with her but then after things that happened last ni
"Chickenpox?" Dr Tiana's face got twisted.She examined the face before her. There were no red spots or rashes on her face. But, she looked very healthy with her glowing skin. In the doctor’s eyes, she looked like a newlywed.So, the doctor asked kindly, "Can I trouble you to show me where in the part of your body do the rashes appear?”"It is all over my body!" Jennet replied. Her face was the embodiment of worry.Then, she added, "Maybe it is because I am allergic to something. Last night before bed, I ate spicy noodles. But, I have been eating noodles for as long as I can remember. I have never gotten these red spots on me." She showed her stomach to the female doctor.Dr Tiana listened attentively to her while looking at the reddish-purple marks on her skin. Her brows furrowed.'Well, these red spots look weird. It is not even rashes caused by chickenpox.' She thought. The marks Jennet claimed as rashes looked exactly like hi
"Is she gone?" he whispered to Little Veen that stood calmly beside him. "Yes, Master." Replied Little Veen. He glanced at his panic looking, master. "You should enter the house now before she locks the door." "Not now. She will only get angry after seeing me." Hue said and looked at the brightly lit villa. He watched Jennet heading upstairs to her bedroom with her laundry. He sighed deeply. He was the culprit and he did not dare to approach her yet. Little Veen observed his physical body. His master had regained his solid form. He was happy about the achievement. "You have retrieved your body now. Shouldn’t we rejoice for the accomplishment?" He suggested. Hue shook his head while glaring at the little boy. "Not yet,” he barked. “They will take everything back if I start to rejoice for this small accomplishment." He said, feeling wary of what he had just achieved. If he were to rejoice now, there will be no telling when they d
The sun had not risen from the east and the sky was still dark. Everything was still, not moving. No wind to blow the tree leaves. No movements of animals in any area. In the morning, it was just the silence that embraced the surroundings as if everything had turned to stone. "Aahh!!" A desperate scream came from the villa. The scream alone shook everything to live, awakening everyone from their deep slumbers. Birds scattered in urgency, leaving their trees. As light lit up the villa, a shadow appeared on the curtain, standing up hurriedly. The shadow grabbed something and hit someone near its feet. A yowl came shortly after that. "Who are you?!” Jennet yelled and raised the bolster in her hands. “Get out! Get out!" she hit the long-haired man with it. She panicked when she saw a foreign man, half-naked, sleeping beside her as soon as she woke up. The sleepiness in her has washed away as the adrenaline surged throughout her body. It kept her
Jennet stared at the man who laid powerless below her. His long golden hair was all over the bed. He was seductive just by being bare-chested. He looked like a beautiful painting with his almond-shaped eyes and those jade blue irises were something rare to her; it was so enchanting.His perfectly shaped face, high nose and pinkish thin lips made him somehow, much beautiful than her and she was annoyed by the realisation. His flushed face made him look rather docile... no, he appeared amazingly appetizing.He was as helpless as a bunny who had to confront a ferocious wolf!Jennet had never been in close contact with a man in her entire life and she got scared easily when approached by one. When he was on top of her body just now, she panicked because it was a strange feeling when their chests were pinned against each other. She had never experienced that awkward feeling before.Not to mention, up close she could smell the sweet scent from his body. The lin
Jennet rooted in front of him while scratching her neck again. ‘I can’t keep this up. He has to stop crying. Let see if I can be harsher on him.’She approached and yanked him on the arm, “Stop crying. You’re a grown man!” Her eyes widened at the same time.Hue flinched as their eyes met. That instant he burst into tears as if he saw a ghost. He moved to the corner and called her ‘mean wife’ countless times.Jennet grumbled in annoyance. It ticked her when he called her the ‘mean wife’. He made it look as if she bullied him!She bit her inner lip, suppressing the anger that she kept within. She had no idea how to deal with him. At last, she gave up and left the room with hands in her hair as she grunted in exasperation. ‘Argh, I need to clear my mind. This is unbelievable.’As she walked down the stairs, Hue’s crying echoed in the empty hallway. Strangely, as minutes pass
“Please!” Hue clasped his hands together."No!” Jennet shouted with heavy breathing. Her eyes widened. She was getting angry.Hue gasped with a stunned expression. His smiling face turned gloomy. He, once again, was about to cry on the floor.Jennet realised her mistake and coughed softly, “Ahem, I mean, it’s improper to enter the bathroom together. I want to take my shower alone. You can use the bathroom after me.” She spoke with a softened tone. 'What am I even talking about now?' She grumbled in her mind. She wanted to kick him out yet, she offered him to take a shower after her. Hue tilted his head to the side and a smile formed on his handsome face. He was amazingly alluring and that made Jennet hold her breath in silence.“Okay,” he agreed cheerfully. Jennet was relieved to hear his reply. She inhaled deeply while hiding the discomfort behind a plastic smile.She stood up
She realised that eating while some had their eyes on her was unpleasant. But, since the one who sat before her was a beautiful ‘woman’, she forced herself to smile.“Suit yourself, then.” She lost all reasoning when dealing with good looking people. She just want to flee but was helpless. “But, you have to finish the sandwich before I leave for work.” She spoke, urging ‘her’ to eat the breakfast as a means to keep ‘her’ watchful eyes away from staring.Hue obliged her request and ate his breakfast silently. While at it, he stole a few glances at her. For the first time in so many years, he finally had the chance to dine with her. Although a few things made him unhappy, upon seeing her, he had cooled down. So, he treasured the moment because he had no idea when the exclusive privilege will be taken from him again.Jennet ate her fill as fast as she could. She cleared her dirty plate and rushed t
